Charities and Institutions of a Public Character (IPCs) have to abide by the Charities Act and Regulations which outline the rules on areas such as:

  • Registration;
  • Deregistration;
  • Submission of statutory returns (including, but not limited to, annual reports, financial statements etc.); and
  • Fund-raising.
